While personally I am not a fan of trading up, trading down in certain circumstances can be favorable. Depending upon how free agency plays out we just might have some opportunities to enhance our position.  Baalkie did well seizing this opportunity last year and acquire more picks.  It was not his fault he failed to find a trading partner to package them to move up, that is always a crap shoot.

A few of the teams following us in the draft do have needs that are not primary to us so that can create opportunities. The further you trade back the risk increases so personally the eagles at 22 are my risk limit.

18. Cincinnati Bengals - TE
19. Los Angeles Rams - QB, LB
20. Pittsburgh Steelers - LB
21. Miami Dolphins - TE
22. Philadelphia Eagles - LB (if the replacement for center they drafted  a few years ago then not center)

These are the needs for these teams from PFF that do not conflict with ours. The Steelers, Rams and and Eagles should be looking for a LB, the Bengals and Dolphins a TE. I can't see the Bengals or Rams motivated to move up unless they would pick something we want. (or in fear the others are gonna jump them) It would require someone to fall the teams feel are a cut above the players ranked on their boards lower. I don't see any LB's that fit that, but maybe a few TE's as everyone is looking for the next Kelce.
